After being accused of serial murder, a loner cop breaks out a jail to find the murderer himself by using an ability to see through the eyes of the killer.
Why is he a cop? couldnt he be some random joeblow? I think it sounds intriguing. there is a typo "break out a jail" (although it reads like you were typing in dialect )
The fact that he is, himself, a cop just kinda makes me feel weird. what about:
After being accused of serial murder, a psych-ward nurse breaks out of jail to find the murderer himself by using an ability to see through the eyes of the killer.
And the fact that a movie has been made over 30 years ago with a simillar gimmick is irrelevant. At least irrelevant to stopping you from pursuing this idea.
After being wrongly arrested for a series of brutal murders, a loner cop with the knack of being able to see through the eyes of a killer escapes custody to track down the real serial killer.
